i have visited many big cities ?

However apart from gyms and stuff, i see very very few people going for a jog or light running,
Are we becoming unproductive or squandered kind of people at this fag end of the industrial revolution. ??
To sum up are we more fit than we used to be ten years back or so, as everything is available on the click of a button or a mouse??

thanks so much for your responses.:smile: :smile: :smile:

I walk to school every day. I don't have a car so I rely on the train.....that's my workout. :P

I don't a workout on the workdays. To the work and university I go by the car, not by walk. On the holiday, I do workout and don't use a car during the day. This is my workout.
Yes this country is becoming a nation of fat idle slobs, too much macdonalds, not enough cardio. No pride in their appearance or self respect for their own body and health.

Thank God I'm not one of them.

this is the problem with too many WEAK PUSSY MEN in todays society

anjurdsg, you need to be an ALPHA MALE

get down to the gym

ask women, do they like men who sit at home and gain fat, or REAL MEN who get off their backsides and do something about it

I go running :smile: But then I live out in the sticks so do I count?
When im at uni i go to the gym twice a week, play badminton twice a week and walk almost everywhere. At home, i go for a 20min jog every night or go on the cross trainer for 30minutes.

This was something we commented on when in New Zealand, OK the cities there seemed quieter than over here, but we saw loads of people out for a jog in the local park or playing rugby there.

Completely different to over here.

Id say that there are more people running, and exercising more. Go to any park in london in the early morning, theres a traffic of joggers.
I walk all the time.

Just because I don't own a tracksuit and go for a run every day doesn't mean that I laze about all the time.

I dont think an alpha male is someone who goes to the gym 2-3 times a week.

There's more pressure to look good, more facilities situated here and everywhere. There's more desire to have a good body nowadays than 10 yrs ago i think. Although needless to say obesity is on the rise, 99.9% of people in the US are obese and its anjursdg's fault.

Russia still not getting along with the US? I thought all that was over a while ago. Mind you, they are a useless bunch.

Im not Russian. And they did get over it, well some did. You still get some bitter ex communists who see tourists as people who flash their money in their faces just because we never use to be communist and they did
The reason you don't see many "fit" people around is that the majority of "fit" people are actually currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. :biggrin:

The last I heard McDonalds were closing several restaurants due to a decline in trade.

Jogging is bad for your boobs, and I'd personally be a bit embarrassed huffing and puffing along the main road. And it's significantly more dangerous to do it in the early morning or late evening. I like to go swimming, shame it's so expensive, but I can spend hours and hours in there :biggrin:
